Home Remedy: How To Whiten Your Teeth at Home

As part of a new series: "Beauty and the Recession" we examine consumer tips for cosmetics you can do at home

There are many ways to whiten your teeth at home using products that are readily available over the counter or online but there are also some ways to do it with products that you already have in your home. Before we get into how to whiten teeth first we will cover the top 5 ways to keep your teeth from getting yellow and stained in the first place, since you will want to follow these rules once you have went through the trouble of whitening your smile.

1. Avoid sweets! Too much sugar can cause cavities, yellowing of the teeth and other problems. Plus, more than an occasional indulgence is bad for you anyway. Pass on the sweets.

2. Brush morning and night. The dentist tells you to do it for a reason! It's important to scrub those chompers once in the morning and once again before bed.

3. Don't smoke! We understand this is a tough one for many of us, but it's important for your teeth and important for your body. It can be tough to quit, but the rewards are well worth it.

4. Try to minimize coffee consumption. We're not telling you to kick your daily cup of coffee--just advising that you might want to reconsider cups 3, 4 and 5. For your teeth's sake.

5. Floss! Often times small pieces of food are trapped between your teeth and manage to evade the truth brush. Pick these off with some good dental floss.

Ok so now that you know how to keep your teeth white, let's discuss how to whitening them on your own without any products. Here is an homemade remedy to whitening your teeth.

1. Pour hydrogen peroxide on your tooth brush until it is saturated in it.
2. Add a pile of baking soda on top of the tooth brush right after you pour the hydrogen peroxide on.
3. Use toothpaste as usual.
4. Brush your teeth in small circles, paying close attention to the gum line and front of teeth.
5. Rinse your tooth brush with hydrogen peroxide but do not spit yet.
6. Continue to brush, and rinse your tooth brush with peroxide.
7. Rinse your tooth brush with peroxide and do not spit.
8. After you rinse the toothbrush with peroxide three times and continue to brush, you can now spit out the foamy, whitening paste.
9. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water, gargle and spit again.
10. Rinse off your tooth brush and you are finished.

Do this on a regular basis and you will be shocked at how quickly your teeth will begin to look super white. Enjoy.
